Grahn-Dingi, Abyssinia 1846

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Grahn-Dingi, Abyssinia 1846. According to Johnston It is called "Ghran-dingi," i.e. the stone of Mahomed Grahn, having been erected to commemorate the farthest advance upon the table land of the great Mahomedan conqueror of the Christian provinces that formerly existed in the feritle valleys and lowlands of the scarp I have before mentioned. The Ghran-dingi stood about seven miles west of Ankobar, in a shallow valley of one of the earliest tributaries to the Nile. It was composed of a grey porphyritic stone.
